[FX.php List] Get field names for a layout?

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Ted,

Welcome to FX.php.

FX.php does not let you specify which fields to return; it gives you all the fields on a layout. It's great practice to develop specific layouts for specific purposes for use by FX.php in order to clamp down on the amount of data being returned. Disciplined layouts make a huge difference in performance.

Hope this helps,
Dale
